postheadericon Land Based Shark Fishing - 7 year old

Land Based Shark Fishing - 7 year old Video Clips. Duration : 4.52 Mins.

He spends time with dad on the beach and I think he is just tired of holding me down while in the heat of battle and carrying my gear. We new this would be a challenge for him so we started a father and son training regime to get him ready. A few push ups, squats, light functional dumbbell training mixed in with some shark specific exercise that included a large reel, rod and weights. The plan was to go to the local beach and try our luck. Unfortunately, we got a late start and the parking lot was full. We said that we would drive north and scan the water for jumping sharks. We drove for about an hour on A1A and there was no sign of life. We stopped at a familiar haunt and was happily surprised to see the best thing a shark fisherman could see on a beach, double red flags ...
